So ridiculous that the control over us has become so great that such an EO is needed.

Thank you NN. Watching and prepping from SC. Where I am it is always the wind and rain that warrants preparedness. Downed trees and loss of power are of most concern. Always appreciate your heads up and due diligence during silly season.

I think someone told me this was the same path Cat 5 Hurricane Michael took. The eye of Michael went right over our house and destroyed much of Mexico Beach through Panama City. Lots of damage still remains since that October 2018 storm.

Good to know you are watching this storm system. The NHC forecast maintains Tropical Storm status as it traverses GA and the Carolinas. Definitely worthy of attention.

Michael was an October storm, with formation a little bit further south in the Western Caribbean. The forecast tracks appear similar. We will know more about the current system once the hurricane hunters provide much needed info about the storm itself and data for the forecast path in the Gulf of Mexico.

Tracking looks incredibly solid they must know exactly where this one is going. I'm used to seeing the huge bubbles that show it going everywhere five days out.

It looks like a pretty big storm in size maybe not intensity.

All of the model tracks were developed prior to the first HH flight into the storm. Multiple flights scheduled for today (the first is en route this morning) will either confirm or modify the forecast track and intensity.

When I moved here to coastal North Carolina I imagined I would have a big storm before to many years went by. However I did not expect to see it out of the southwest coming in from Asheville.

A strong hurricane path on the far east part of the cone would be a worse case scenario
And one of the “doomsday” scenarios feared for a land falling Tropical system in the US as far as life and property losses

A NNE moving storm would put the entire Tampa bay metro on the bad side of the storm

Because of the shape of the coastline long stretches of high population From western Tampa and north could get the right eye wall as the center moves just off and up the coast.

This would cause much more wind damage over a wider area then if the storm came in perpendicular because the eyewall only affect a small area
In that case

More importantly SSW winds would funnel a huge surge into Tampa bay

Everything has to line up perfectly but something to keep an eye on

Those of us living in the Tampa Bay area are watching very carefully. Our lives depend upon it.

I guess it’s hard to say what the intensity will be right now but it looked like a rather large storm to me.

The latest track has it staying some miles off the coast of Tampa, how far off are they anticipating?
